I may be far off the mark here,but here goes anyway. We know how to attract and net the lamprey while they come up the creeks and we know how to kill them. Would leaving big bags of dead lamprey in the creeks possibly do the exact same thing that this research suggests? On another note. I am not at all sure that I want the lamprey to ignore the creeks that they are known to spawn in. It would just make them look elsewhere. I would much rather attract them to certain streams and catch them. Then destroy them by removing them from the water, while all the time attracting them to the same streams. But no matter what way is used. In order to see the results, it will take anywhere between four and six years because of their life cycle. What to do with the dead lampreys? They are great fertilizer for organic gardens. All the guts and bones of the fish that I catch are buried in my garden and ever since I started doing this,the size of my pumpkins has doubled! I would just be a little bit wary of the night crawlers...

+1 It's the same with fishing gear and don't let me start on their competitors price matching policy which only works if you know how to jump backwards through burning hoops.

Ethanol decision expected after election day
rolmops replied to jimski2's topic in Open Lake Discussion
This ethanol fuel thing was much promoted by the Bush administration,but it really is the thing of the mid western corn producing states and the political power of the farmers lobby also known as the corn lobby. Republican or democrat,it does not matter. The farmers lobby has us all by the b@lls. -
What's a good saltwater spinning reel
rolmops replied to plecos4sale's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Good salt water reels are called PENN. All my Penns are used every year on the Cape and Stellwagen Bank. My oldest one is from 1984 and she still works like new! -
Read this!!!!Where is our water going in the Great Lakes

Maybe,but I think that it is all the fault of those Quebeckistanies. -

Yea right, and he did it with the help of those evil communist socialist Canadians. It's time to bomb Toronto!! -
It may or may not be that bad. One thing is certain.It will bring in a lot of sand and other crap and the channels will be clogged up. We had better start calling for dredging them channels.

That is the very reason why specially wild pig/boar is very risky to eat.

Before you rip into the engine,check out if the prop has spun. Draw a straight line on the prop and the rubber center, run the engine in the lake and after it surges,pull it out to see if the line is still straight.If it is in a different place on one of the parts,your prop has spun. If so, replace it.

I don't know the make,but I saw it in Parry Sound. It is about 36 feet long.The back is set up for trolling with all the gizmos you can dream of and on the front end there were these three bare breasted young ladies laying in deck chairs,drinking cocktails.

It has to do with the minimal needed water levels in the St. Lawrence River. -

There is an enormous amount of that going on ,just not so much in the USA. -

The water in the Colorado river does not reach the sea anymore because it is used up by different interest groups. This has destroyed much of the fish breeding grounds in the Bay of California. The need for water in that area is forever growing and it is there that big commercial interests want to pipe Great Lakes water. Currently the inflow and outflow of the Great Lakes is well balanced, thanks to the 9 state Great Lakes Consortium which does a great job at protecting our water. but if water is going to get pumped away,the level will go down, much faster than you might think. -

I wish it was that simple. One question only, what happened to the Colorado river? -

What worries me is not the Texans migrating here. It is the big companies who are constantly trying to inch their way into control of our great resource. If we do not pay attention,they will start loading up tankers in the middle of the lake and sell the water to some desert oil countries , or try to lay a pipeline to Las Vegas so they can suck our water to the desert in order to maintain golf courses that should not be there in the first place. Both of these things have come up in discussions already and some big interests are trying to buy politicians to get that ball rolling. -
Find out where the guy lives or lived. If it is very close to the brine,chances are that it has been in salt water a lot. I would not worry too much about, but is a good reason to get price down by a hundred or 2. You must make sure that the lower unit is not leaking ,because salty water in the gear box is deadly.

N42 47 684 W76 30 042. Go that spot and you will find out what I mean. Or if you want to stay closer to home,go to the tip of long point and take a bearing of 225 degrees true for 0.92 miles and, just as you come from 120 to 80 fow go in and out to 60 and back out to 80 (that often means a straight line as the depth goes in and out) while aiming south. That is a great just after sunrise spot when the lakers come back in from the central lake. If you want to go real deep after monsters, go from long point at 200 degrees and you will hit a hole that is about 180 feet deep .find them there and run over them with your leadcore and saw belly,then stop and allow the core to sink way down to close to the bottom and stop and go for a few seconds like that a few times. Good Luck.

When you kill something with your car ,think of it as "fast food",that's what they call it in 315 country.

Heck, I did not see you. I was out on Sunday and caught 2 browns and 5 lakers. If you have trouble fishing because of the wind,just go in the direction where the wind comes from.With a strong southern wind,fish the southern parts and when the wind comes from the north fish the north .that way the waves are easily managed. If you use lead core,try to get some saw bellies and drag them over the outcroppings. If you know where the launch is that connects to Scipio Center Road,you should go there and go up and down the outcropping just north of that launch. You will need a good depth finder because there is a hole just east of it that is 140 feet deep. Stay just west of that hole on the edge at about 50 to 80 feet and work 8 or 10 color core with a saw belly at +/_ 2mph .that usually gets the catch up to well over a dozen.

I bet you that a male contact sport like football is very popular in the gay bay.

Tonight is going to be below freezing. Now would be a very good time to drain that water out of your I/O

Have you been HOSED by marine repair shops
rolmops replied to rapala's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I have been hosing myself by thinking that I know how to fix it, buying stuff that I did not need and braking stuff while making unnecessary repairs. Then I took it to Hank/L&M . He solved my problems and charged a very reasonable fee. Hauling my boat from Rochester to Port Bay was a very good investment!! -
Whether they are drum or disk,if they are hydraulic and activated by pressure from the hitch,they are surge brakes. Surge brakes do fine, but be careful when backing up. Some have a backup solenoid and you can back up without a worry,others don't and you will have to get out of your vehicle to neutralize your brakes. If you don't,they will lock up when you back up. This winter I will install electric brakes on my Islander trailer. Below here are the legal requirements for brakes on trailers in NY State New York 518-457-6195 http://www.dot.state.ny.us Brakes are required on trailers that weigh over 1000 lbs. / adequate brakes requires over 3000 lb GVW. Here is a website that shows the laws for all the different states: http://www.roadkingtrailers.com/brakelaws.htm Investing in trailer brakes when you trailer an Islander is really saving money because your vehicle brakes will have a very short life when they have to deal with an extra 3000 pounds in motion.

I don't know about that one, if she moves she might capsize your rig

lenght of leash from ball to release
rolmops replied to reeladdiction2's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Same here,but the sensitivity becomes less as you fish deeper and you cannot load up the rod as much as you can with a black.
